16520 A-Series Tritium dial?

Hi all,
I do have a A-Series white dial zenith Daytona with box and papers. There is a tritium dial on it. Some Friends of mine say, this is not correct, because they did not put tritium dials in to A-series.
Whats the experts opinion on that one?

Cheers

I’ve owned nearly a dozen of these and every A serial I have owned that is marked SWISS MADE has always had a luminova dial.

Do you have a photo of the watch in question?

The dial has been changed. I agree that it should be a luminova dial.
